Kit and Carol on the Road

While other folks were watching the Macy’s parade on TV—we were cruising through the Okefenokee Swamp. It was a fine sunny day—the perfect time of year in the swamp. The cypress are turning colors and dropping needles, yet the sunflowers are still blooming, and the mosquitoes are gone. We cruised past gators and egret, blue heron, ibis, and even 3 sandhill crane. While other folks were sitting down to turkey with family and friends, we rocked on the porch of a “swamper” cabin, and ate turkey sandwiches in a shelter, before hiking the boardwalk to a swamp observation tower.
Came back to enjoy the last of this sunny day—and call family back home. Not a bad Thanksgiving Day.

I didn't mention that there are 60 trains a day through Folkston where we are. The last time we bought diesel it was $2.25.
